DAY SIXTEEN: INTERCESSION: MARRIED LIFE

Happy Saturday to you!

Welcome to day sixteen.

The topic for our reflection today is the MARRIED LIFE.

Our natural inclination, as social beings, is companionship.
There is the part of us that seeks to find and keep a mate for life.

We desire to love and be loved.
We desire to share a strong connection with a special someone.
We desire to have that partner whose child we would love to father or mother.

And yes...we do find that special someone.

Today, we are making Intercession for the married life.

1. We are asking Our Father to be the centre of our marriages.

2. We are pleading to Our Father to help us to remain faithful to our spouses.

3. We are praying for wives to be submissive to their husbands just as the Church is to Christ.

4. We are praying that husbands will love their wives just as Christ loves the Church and gave His life for Her.

5. Finally, we are seeking the Counsel from the Holy Spirit in order to train our offsprings in the fear of the Lord and in His love.

Amen!

It's still #SHARINGLIFE.

Let's keep sharing.

An Invitation to Intimacy

I gave my life to Jesus in St. Louis Senior High School. I am very sure I had gone forward for altar calls many times before that. But St. Louis was different. I was conscious; I was aware of myself and my environment. I knew I needed God in my life. To be honest, the issues of life drove me to take God seriously. A friend had had a dream about her and me and the moment she shared it, I knew I had to let go of the old garment and take on the new. So, I joined the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR) meetings and that was where my life changed. That encounter led me to a great relationship with the Lord. I read the Scriptures (my favourite was the Book of Psalms because I used that to pray a lot). It was in St. Louis I learnt I was never alone (why do you think I support Liverpool FC so much?). I learnt to rely on Him alone. When I entered the University, I realized a newfound freedom and observed (by the Grace of God) that if I didn’t take my spirituality seriousl...

30 things I love about you: pt. 10-12

Hi babe, 6 more days to go. We thank ABBA for everything. 10. I love the way we resolve conflict. I truly appreciate the posture with which you approach conflicts. Thank you for showing me that your posture is always to do what is needed for us to move forward. Thank you for showing that your goal isn't to find who is at fault and then crucify the person but rather to identify how to build from there and keep building. It took me a while to know this and thjs knowledge gives me the peace to resolve issues with you. I pray ABBA'S blessings for you, always. 11. I love how you give me room. You don't hold me back. You push and keep pushing me to strive for excellence and to be the best. Thank you for pushing me to start Doux! Thank you for pushing me to take my place. I encountered a man, whom I thought I loved, who was more concerned about me putting my ministry and dreams aside to pursue his. He never encouraged me if it didn't fit his "ideas". One of the mai...

30 things I love about you: pt. 7-9

Happy Monday, baby! Can’t believe we are a week away. I am nervous… in a good day. I pray you have a great day on that day. 7. I love the way you pray for me Baaaabe! Thank you for always praying for me. I get to see your heart every time you pray for me. On the hardest days, you are there to cover me in prayer. On the happy days, you are there to thank ABBA with me. Thank you. I love it when you pray. Bruh! You pray so well, by ABBA’s Grace. I love you. Thank you. 8. I love how you seek opportunities to correct my childhood traumas. I remember that one time I shared the story of how we used to manage food in my home as a child. I told you about how our stew was always little with a lot of rice or yam or whatever. I remember how on that day I shared this with you, we were having lunch at your parents’. I recall how you went to the kitchen and fetched so much stew for me. It meant a lot and on so many occasions, I have seen you seek opportunities to correct ...
